I'm sure you'd be singing a different tune if you or someone you knew came up with a great idea/invention, but the sec you tried to sell it you were ripped off by a big corporation. In your world, you would have no legal recourse, then they would be free to make millions/billions off the idea, while you died penniless. That's what happened in 100's/1000's of years ago. That's why we came up with patents. Yea, some abuse it, but it does more good than bad. So, there's no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water. |
Well thank god I won't be running a business and I hardly sing different tunes when I'm mostly realist so thank god I can also except inequality ...
More good than bad, ehh ? Hmm, so was introducing more monopolies, Apple bullying their competitors, patent trolls, protecting bigger companies and hurting small businesses worth it ?
Not only that but businesses from other sectors can't pitch in when patents can cost an upwards of billions to acquire rights too ...
Sooo much lost potential innovation from the above is lost I somewhat shriek about it ...
The only winners when patents system is in place are the lawyers since their jobs bank on it and they get tons of money from every lawsuit ...
If patent systems weren't in place then those patent lawyers would go back to been inventors rather than dealing with more technical lawsuits ...
